    Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

    Imma just hang out in here while the rest of the forum melts down, if you guys don't mind.

    This feels like the best out-of-the-box gameplay in this series - and it was already really good last year, aside from the HR distance thing.

    I will say this being a zone/meter player, so take it for what it's worth - The AI doesn't mess around on HOF. It is hammering a lot of what I leave over the plate. I gave up 4 runs to the Cards in the first inning of my first game, en route to an 8-5 loss. Success comes when I stay near the edges - swinging misses and strikeouts. It might be harder to make classic pitching work for you guys on HOF this year because it seems like I need to be either more precise OR more cautious. But there is a greater sense of accomplishment now when something good happens.

        Me too man....I'm 1000% in-love with the game right now....

        Armor's impressions are the same as mine....while we all know that baseball is a game of sample size, just from a "feel" standpoint, this game feels extremely well-tuned out of the box.
        Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

          If people are complaining about this game they are just hating. This game is so damn good. I'm so glad I took off work today. This is going to be a great weekend.

            I've only played 2 games but my inital thoughts are the infielder reaction is too good. I know the slider set I used last year for the most part had infielder reaction at 2 so maybe I'm spoiled now. For me its hard to get sharp grounders through the hole between 1B/2B and SS/3B

                  How are walks looking for HUM and CPU? Ball strike ratio?

                    I always turn down the foul ball frequency.

                      balance ist really really good !!!!

                      i played now 10 games and here are my thought.

                      Pitching on HoF ist perfect !!!

                      Batting on all star is maybe to easy. expecially when it comes to strike outs. i tested out different sets of pitch speeds but i only get striked out 3-4 times a game. what could help here ?

                            Also might be the year we potentially move to HOF hitting but I need a much larger sample size!

                              just played a game on HoF batting and it was perfect much more strike outs for me and missed balls also with good timing!!! and i had 9 hits and 5 runs.

                              Another thing is errors. there way to many. every game i have about 2 and the cpu also.

                              i changed fielder errors in throwing to 4.
                              infield throwing and fielding errors to 4 also.

                                Is there a potential 1st baseman's glitch?
                                In my first game, waiting for the game to install, there was a ground ball to first, fielded cleanly by Gurriel and then on his way to first he kinda danced around the bag before touching it.
                                In my second game, another grounder to first, fielded cleanly, and then Carlos Santana walked right passed the bag like he was going into the dugout.
                                Has anybody else seen this?
